3 Minute Thesis Competition

3 Minute Thesis Competition

3 Minutes, 1 Slide…..Your Thesis!

An 80,000 word thesis would take 9 hours to present; how about in just 3 minutes with the aid of a single slide?

We are inviting DPhil students to do just that. The 3 Minute Thesis competition challenges doctoral candidates to present a compelling spoken presentation on their research topic and its significance in just three minutes to a non-specialist audience.

The Oxford Competition
The winner of the Oxford competition will be entered into the national semi-finals, and if they are successful they will go on to the national final in Birmingham, with their expenses paid to attend.

Up to 4 finalists will all be awarded a prize:

• 1st prize: £200
• Runner-up prizes: £100
There are also prizes for winners in the national final: last year’s winner was awarded a £3,000 grant to spend on public engagement activity, sponsored by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) to promote their research and to enhance their professional development.

Register for the competition Thurs 30 May, 3-4pm, Manor Road Building
You will deliver your Three Minute Thesis to a panel of judges. See rules below.
